    What drone is OP getting that it’s only $35? I don’t think I’ve seen them from anything less than about $200 and a good one is about $500 to $700

        This particular one is the Mavic 3 pro, indeed around that price with the accessories. It’s what I fly for work.

      Right? I’ll give OP $50 a pop to source those $35 drones that are at least good enough to strap a grenade to and kill people. I don’t wanna kill people, but if it can carry a grenade, it can probably carry a camera and stuff.

      I’ve flown a number of drones and the best drone I’ve flown that clocks in under £100 is a tiny-whoop and they’re absolutely not fit for combat lol.

          Tiny-whoop more reffers to a class of FPVs rather than any specific drone. They’re small enough to be flown around indoors and typically weigh in at under 25g TOM. I guess you could use one for surveillance or scoping out a building in the field but defo not for combat lol
